The sound is determined by "cooking" instead of a DAC chip!? Luxman's challenging USB DAC amplifier "DA-250"

　Speaking of 2010 when the previous model "DA-200" was released, it is compatible with 96kHz/24bit, this is 192kHz/24bit compatible, and it is the time when each company was competing for the abundance of compatible data.It was also a time when pure audio manufacturers such as Luxman began to enter the USB DAC and PC audio market, which have been pioneered by small manufacturers.

　The "DA-200" appears as a low-priced model for Luxman, about 150,000 yen.The PCM supported 96kHz/24bit, which was not supported by DSD, but became a hot topic due to the good sound and became a popular model.It is surprising that the order has been left for about a year since its release, that is, the order continued because it was ordered, but it was not possible to deliver.

　Unlike AV equipment such as portable audio and television, it is unusual for pure audio manufacturers who often sell expensive models in small quantities."It's a fresh experience that many boxes are shipped every day, and every time a salesman asks the store," What are you today? "Masaichi Nagazuki, General Manager of the Development Division, laughed, saying that production and mass sales would be like this. "He is a "Luxman's sound" who has previously heard about the sound of the sound at the development site.

　The flood of orders is widely accepted by the so -called "pure audiofan" layer, which is the main target of Luxman, which has been the main target, installing a floor -shaped speaker in a dedicated audio room.In the sense of expanding the user, it will be all year old.However, there were many unexpected things.

Mr. Naga (hereinafter abbreviation): The DA-200 is a USB DAC with a headphone amplifier, but I thought that the line output would be mainly incorporated into the audio system as a single DAC.The ratio was expected to use as a single DAC and about 30 % for headphones.

　However, if you open the lid, the opposite is true, and about 70 % of users use it as a headphone amplifier.At the Headphone Festival hosted by Fujiya Ebik, young headphone fans gathered at the Luxman booth, and various requests were received around the headphones.

Nagazuki: I have been working for more than a year to develop a successor model of the DA-200, but there is a change that can be completely different even if I just responded to many requests received (laughs).).I had a hard time, but I am proud that the DA-250 has become a model that can meet the expectations of the user.
